Chapter 306: Chapter 123: Choose Between Divorce and Retired Wife?_3

Xiang Qin’s eyes moved slightly.

She was also somewhat surprised at that moment.

"I won’t hide it from you. Bai Mowan is about to return to court, and His Majesty intends to betroth Bai Mowan to Xiao Jinsen. But as you know, Xiao Jinxing has always had affection for Bai Mowan, and Bai Mowan herself is willing to marry Xiao Jinxing. However, I am still occupying the position of the Princess, leaving Bai Mowan in the most awkward situation. She wishes to marry but cannot, and is being forced to marry someone she doesn’t want to. Once the Emperor decrees the marriage, it must not be defied. We can only resort to indirect strategies."

"Indirect strategies?" Xiang Qin did not understand.

"That is, to take a detour to prevent this from happening," Ye Qichi explained, "Your sister Xie Ruiyao resembles your cousin Bai Mowan significantly. The only solution I can think of is for your sister to take the place of your cousin."

"What you mean is, you want me to go back and persuade my sister to marry Xiao Jinsen."

"That’s not what I meant," Ye Qichi laughed, "Firstly, you and your sister haven’t seen each other for more than a decade, so there might not be much affection left, and it’s unlikely she would listen to you. Secondly, your sister’s desire to marry Xiao Jinsen does not mean he would marry her."

"Then what can I do?" Xiang Qin did not understand.

"It’s to let me meet your sister," Ye Qichi explained, "a meeting without raising suspicions, as I’m afraid it would trigger Xiao Jinsen’s suspicions."

"You mean, by sending me home, you would naturally have the chance to meet my sister."

"Clever," praised Ye Qichi.

"But..." Xiang Qin hesitated.

"Feel free to ask any questions you may have," Ye Qichi said directly.

Xiang Qin looked at Ye Qichi, "Will my sister be happy if she marries Xiao Jinsen?"

"Your sister likes Xiao Jinsen," Ye Qichi said, "As for happiness, I can tell you, she won’t be happy because Xiao Jinsen only has eyes for power and does not harbor deep feelings for women."

"Then..."

"Your sister is not a kind-hearted person," Ye Qichi said bluntly, "She has tried every means to marry Xiao Jinsen, and now, I am just helping her achieve her goal."

"How do you know so much?" Xiang Qin was still surprised.

"I just know a lot," Ye Qichi smiled.

Xiang Qin always felt that Ye Qichi was like an otherworldly being.

"I can’t push my sister into the fire pit," Xiang Qin refused.

When it comes to family,

she doesn’t want to compromise.

Even though,

she really wanted to repay the kindness, but not at the cost of her family’s happiness.

She couldn’t get past that mental hurdle.

"It’s your sister’s choice to marry Xiao Jinsen, not yours," Ye Qichi negotiated, "I just need you to take me to the Xie Residence now; I do not need your help with anything else."

"But..."

"Even so, you can try to persuade your sister not to marry Xiao Jinsen. If she agrees not to marry him, I won’t trouble myself with her matters any longer," Ye Qichi said with determination.

Xiang Qin furrowed her brows.

She didn’t know why, but Ye Qichi seemed so confident.

Xiang Qin hesitated for a long time.

Eventually, she agreed, "If my sister disagrees, I hope that you, Princess, will not force her hand."

"I never do things by forcing others," Ye Qichi responded.

"Okay," Xiang Qin nodded.

"Return to the residence tomorrow. Today, I’ll send word back to the Xie Residence that you are still alive. Tomorrow, I will escort you home," Ye Qichi planned the itinerary.

Xiang Qin bit her lip.

At this moment, she still felt a bit nervous.

After more than a decade,

she could finally go home.

To see her father, mother, grandmother, and other relatives...

She dared not think too much.

She was just full of anticipation.

After getting through to Xiang Qin, Ye Qichi went to see Xiao Jinxing.

Xiao Jinxing was still in his study at this moment, and inside the study, beside him, stood Gu Xingchuan.

Gu Xingchuan regarded Ye Qichi with a bow, saying, "Princess."

"Hmm," Ye Qichi responded briefly, then addressed Xiao Jinxing, "I will go to the Xie Residence tomorrow to see Xie Ruiyao."

Xiao Jinxing furrowed his brows.

He was somewhat surprised by Ye Qichi’s action.

"To want Xie Ruiyao to marry Xiao Jinsen, it’s essential to discuss things clearly with the person involved first."

"What if it alarms the enemy?" Xiao Jinxing asked.

"Whether or not it alarms the enemy, doesn’t Xiao Jinsen already know that you don’t want Bai Mowan to marry him?"

Meaning, even if it doesn’t work out and Xiao Jinsen finds out, what could he do about it?!

After all, the whole Daxuan Kingdom knows that Xiao Jinxing’s heart belongs to Bai Mowan.

"I’ve already discussed this with Xingchuan," Xiao Jinxing spoke, "On Wan’er’s way back she encounters an assassination attempt; I will rescue her but sustain serious injuries and my life hangs by a thread. Out of gratitude, Wan’er offers herself to me in marriage. Thus, recollecting Wan’er’s deep affection and righteousness, even His Majesty could not refuse Wan’er’s request."
